Locking tuners on Atom Special

[marsodude]

OK, I have a fairly recent Atom Special, 02-11-09A with a Bigsby and locking tuners. I still have the original strings and need to change them out.

I am certainly enjoying the split shaft tuners on my Crowdster Plus more than the locking tuners on the Atom Special.

Question is, what kind of tuners do I have on the Atom Special and what are my other options? They seem to drift out of tune quite a bit.

They should be Gotoh's. There's been another thread here recently taking about the Gotoh Locking tuners and how they work:

Hope this is helpful.
Oh, and Happy Easter! :)

if they're not holding pitch you must not have the strings stretched. i tug on them till they stop dropping pitch. then they're rock solid.
